10 Platitudes That I Hope Are True

1.   Crisis = Opportunity
2.   It’s always darkest before the dawn
3.  The most certain way to succeed is always to try one more time
4.   It is never too late to be what you might have been
5.  Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors
6.   This too shall pass
7.   To be tested is good. The challenged life may be the best therapist
8.   Change looks like failure in the middle
9.  Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work
10. Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solutions. If you don’t have any problems, you don’t get seeds

    The great philosopher Nietzsche said “what does not kill you makes you stronger.” He actually wished hardship on his friends and loved ones because he knew how valuable it was in making one grow and thrive. I often remember that & it helps me in my rough times. Stay Strong!
